Video, porcelain, sound

Christiane Toewe visualizes the SELF through a heart.

A vital, beating heart. This heart, fragile, made of porcelain, works tirelessly and shows how the aforementioned conceptual self can falter or even shatter when external circumstances demand it. The outer human shell is irrelevant. The humane heart makes a human being a human being in his acting in his being. Every "selfie" is just an illusion.
